What is Solaroids

Solaroids is a re-imagined version of the classic Asteroids® as a single or local multiplayer shooter that retains the essential premise that inertia is the missing ingredient of many modern top down shooters.

One to four players can experience a Campaign mode that progresses from tame introductory levels to epic high-octane space battles that will challenge even the most experienced pilots. As the campaign progresses, and the threat continues to grow, the types of weapons and firepower at your disposal will also increase. As you get familiar with the game mechanics and the properties of different hazards and enemies, you will learn many subtle aspects of the game: what combinations of piloting, armament, and strategies result in the most success and fame.

While each player competes for high scores individually, to accomplish this each must choose their own path; whether to be friend or foe, work together or individually, fight or flee. Each player can customize their ship colors and join or leave the game at any time. As participants come and go, the action never stops.

If you are in need of a “quick fix,” Free Play mode is always waiting with its instant ramp up, and unlock of all weapons and enemies.

Solaroids: Prologue will continue to evolve with input continuously gathered from players in the community, as it makes its way to an official release as Solaroids!

Local Competitive/Cooperative Play

If a couple of your mates walk in, have them join in the fun. No need to leave the game to add players, as they can join in at any time. Just connect another controller, optionally customize the color scheme, and pow… your in! Someone needs to drop out for a while, just don’t continue and the game will be forfeit. No worries.

Someone take your loot, or fire a little too close for comfort… Pop of a few rounds to let them know who’s boss and that it’s not appreciated. Nobody’s gonna stop you!
